Company says: We've taken the Wave Rider 19, our most popular running shoe, and made it even better. With an improved U4ic midsole and an upgraded premium sock liner, this women's neutral running shoe gives you improved cushioning, comfort, and flexibility in every step.

I say: The new Mizuno Wave Rider 19 has stuck with the changes the company made for the better in the past couple years. The shoe still retains the glove-like hold around the foot, with accommodating for a bit of room in the toebox. The Wave Rider also still maintains its lighter-than-air feel, weighing like a minimal shoe with the structure of a normal end shoe. Mizuno did make a slight change to the cushioning this time around, which in my opinion, makes the shoe even more comfortable, I will say however, the shoe is still a firm shoe. Definitively a shoe I would recommend trying on at your local running specialty store!
